Episode: 74 – [Review] Coraline

In this episode of Paperback Friends, I’m taking a look at Neil Gaiman’s Coraline — a dark fantasy novella about curiosity, courage, and the dangers of getting everything you think you want.A bored young girl discovers a mysterious door leading to a twisted version of her own world, where everything seems better… until the unsettling truth begins to reveal itself.Coraline is a surprisingly strong child protagonist, and why I’m not entirely convinced this novella deserves all the “modern classic” praise it receives I does some things right.A creepy little story with plenty to unpack — but does it live up to the hype?Type: Review | Book: Coraline | Writer: Neil Gaiman
